Roger Federer dominated Nadal before He got sick from the sudden illness

that's because Roger wasn't used to Nadal's unusual style at first. Roger won 5 matches out of 7 matches they met before Roger got sudden unfortunate illness and almost won Rome Masters which would make it 6 matches out of 7 matches and 7-7 tie. Roger would have leaded Nadal Head to Head 34-9 by now If Roger didn't get sick from mono virus and got better at clay than Nadal also. eventhough they mostly met in clay, the H2H was close meaning that Roger lead H2H by much when they would meet equal amount on other courts. Roger dominated Nadal for 6 years. Roger had been number 1 and almost won everything for 6 years before got sick Roger still lead H2H against Nadal on all courts except for clay now. Imagine If Roger didn't get sick which caused his sudden decline. when Roger Federer was sick, He was declined to nadal's level of tennis that He has to play extremely close matches in 2008 wimbledon and 2009 austrailian Open but He still dominate Nadal in 1500 master 4-0.
